| dispersal and fate of coliphages in the river saar. | the dispersal of coliphages was analysed quantitatively in longitudinal profiles of the partially canalized river saar. the numbers of coliphages ranged between 0 and 2380 pfu (plaque-forming units)/ml in the water and between 0 and 2550 pfu/g in the sediments, depending on the degree of fecal pollution. in canalized parts the phages were found mainly in the sediments, whereas in non-canalized parts they prevailed in the water phase (fig. 3). determinations performed at municipal sewage water ou ... | 1981 | 6275634 |
